ACHILD'S SKIN
Ears and Scalp Covered with EczematOus
Scabs and Sores, Cured by Cuticura.

MY little son. aged eight years. has been afflicted
w with Eczema of the scalp, and at times great
portion of the body, ever since he two years old
II began IN his and extended to his scalp which
became covered with scabs and Sores and from
which sticky fluid poured out, causing intense
itching and distress, and leaving his hair matted
and ifeless. Underneath these scabs the skin was
raw, like piece of beefsteak; gradually the hair
came out and was destroyed until but small patch
was left at the back the head. My friends in Pea
body know how my little boy has suffered; at night
he could scratch his head until his pillow was COW
cred with blood; used TO tie his hands behind him.
and IN many ways tried to prevent his scratching:
but 1t was no use he would scratch. | took him to
the hospital and to the best physicians in Peobody
without success; about this time some friends who
had been cured by the Cuticura Remedies prevailed
upon ME to try them; began to them tie 18th
of January last in seven months every particle of
the disease was removed; not spot scab remains
on his scalp to tell the story of his suffering His
hair has returned and is thick and strong and his
scalp sweet and clean as any childs in the world

wonderful cure by the Cuticura Remedies, and all

A PIKE TO BELLAIRE.

The project of pike leading from Bellaire
to the central and western part of the county
has been discussed for a number of years past,
but the various propositions have assumed no
shape, aud the project invariably ends in dis
cussion.
1t has been a matter of astonishment to
strangers that the commercial and manufactur-
ing metropolis of wealthy agricultural county
like Belmont has absolutely no solid, safe road
over which to transport the varied farm products
of the county thereto, and in consequence fully
two-thirds of the produce that is hauled in
wagons to market is conveyed over the national
road to Wheeling and exchanged in part at least
for the merchandise and wares of that rival
city.
The farmers and fruit growers residing in the
neighborhood of st. Clairsville and bordering
upon the national road have long desired to re-
lieve the glut upon the Wheeling market, espe-
cially in f'uit season, by disposing of portion
of their crop in Bellaire, but the danger Of en-
countering trains by the river road and the per-
ilous descent from the ridge road precludes the
possibility.
Happily for the citizens of town and country,
a new road leading from Bellaire to the ceme-
terry, and an alteration in the old road leading
therefrom, was petitoned for by prominent
farmers of Pultney township, and last week
this contemplated road was established by
viewers. The proposed route descends into
Bellaire at Wilson's green house, after winding
across the hill through the property of Kelly &
Morgan at grade Of but little more than 50.
This road, if established and macadamized, will
insure an easy and safe grade, and good road
at all seasons of the year, and it can only be
defeated by exorbitant claims for damage. 1t
is to the interest, therefor of Belaire that this
proposed route be confirmed, and her citizens
should give impetus to the movement. When
the work is accomplished your correspondent is
of the opinion that this will be the route select
ed for the proposed pike to Bellare. With a
few additional alterations, the ridge road can
be converted into an excellent turnpike which,
intersecting the national road at Arick's, will
connect with system OF pixies leading into
every section of the county. OBSERVER.
